<h1>Searching For Modules</h1>

<h2>Search Terms</h2>
<p>In the main search bar, there are two methods for entering search terms.</p>
<h3>Universal</h3>
<p>Just type in a search term for a normal, case-insensitive search.</p>
<h3>Regular Expression</h3>
<p>You can type in a regular expression value by enclosing your search in forward slashes.<br/>
 For example: &quot;/^wx/i&quot; will find any text that begins with wx and is case-insensitive. 
 For a good tutorial on regular expressions, see <a href="http://www.troubleshooters.com/codecorn/littperl/perlreg.htm">
